The Rabbit Room

Wow, that is amazing! Thanks for sharing!

We are kindred spirits! I didn’t start writing until I turned 40, which was a watershed year for me in many ways. I am a slow learner, too. But keep plugging away, and you will get there (wherever “there” is for you). Now, 16 years later, I am hopefully self-publishing a book sometime in the next 12 months. And I’ve loved every bit of the writing…[Read more]

Anne Shirley. She is very unlike me, sadly. I would love to have more of her sunny optimism and joy in all things, big and little.

I really appreciated your posts that you shared here while in the midst of this dark season. I know this book will be an encouragement to many!

Interesting! And tempting! But before I get too far into deciding whether or not I should take the plunge, is the club open to non-US residents?

It sounds so very, very good. Hoping this year that I can get the audio files!

Oh how I would love to come! I’m sure it will a night filled with soul-filling beauty and celebration.

Thank you again, Lanier. Great insights here into Maud herself and to why her writing resonates with so many of us. Your comments about seeing the beauty in your own “place” are so very true. People love P.E.I. because of the Anne books, but we could all write books about our own ordinary places with just as much love and people will love those…[Read more]

Thank you, Lanier. I am treasuring this series – one of my favourite writers writing about another of my favourite writers. You have given me much to ponder on while I wait for Part Three….

Thank you, Pete. This is excellent advice, albeit a bit scary. I know that as more of a “pantser” type writer (ok, who am I kidding, an outline makes me break out in hives), I tend to add characters more or less by instinct or as the plot needs them, which may or may not translate into my being able to answer the questions you posed…[Read more]

One of the most magical trips in my life was going to PEI a couple years ago. It was mid-October, and I was there for a conference, but I was able to stay a couple extra days after to do some exploring. Most of the touristy stuff had closed down – we went to Green Gables and I got a picture but couldn’t go inside. BUT we went to the Lucy Maud…[Read more]

My friends have always thought it a bit odd that before I started anything I would spend time reading and researching about it first. Nice to have some validation here!

Wonderful food for thought. A worthwhile meditation might be to think of how many stables I’m imprisioned in…hmm that might be pretty discouraging, actually, but you can’t fix what you don’t know is broken, right?

As one who has never been to Hutchmoot but would dearly love to, thanks so much for opening the door. Maybe one day I will be fortunate enough to get there, but for now I’m excited to get the chance to listen in on some of the conversations and maybe even contribute a bit.
